Extended Pioneer remote

Hi all!
One little thing that bothers me with the Pioneer VSX-405 receiver's remote control (CU-VSX107) is that one can't change input directly. This means you can't just push a button to listen to cd, instead you have to use the function button to step through the inputs, this means to change from input tuner to input vcr I have to push the function-button three times. That's ok if you see the receivers display to see when you have the correct input, but when sending remote codes with Lirc this ain't to good. The application sending data could count and keep track of the input selected, but what if a send fails? The application is then out of sync and won't work correctly.
So, I looked through some Lirc configurationfiles for some other Pioneer remotes to find some possibly usable codes for choosing input directly, but no luck.
Next, I realized that my OneForAll remote _can_ send codes to choose input directly. If I a press the key '1' on my OneForAll, the reciever changes to input cd, if I press key '2' it changes to input VCR.
So, I hooked up an Lirc-compatible reciever and recorded these codes. Then I moved them to my lircd.conf and now I can use Lirc to choose the recievers input directly.
Since my problem's solved, what is my point with this message?
Of course I wanna share :)
Here's the codes:
tunerfunccd 0x00000000A55A32CD
tunerfuncvcr 0x00000000A55AF00F
tunerfuncphono 0x00000000A55AB24D
tunerfunclddvd 0x00000000A55AB04F
tunerfunctape2 0x00000000A55AB847
tunerfunctuner 0x00000000A55AE21D
